I have used every version of Foxit Reader for over 2 years - no problems
 I also put it on every PC I am asked to build/delouse/sort out ......... rather than the resource-hungry Adobe Reader, and have never had any adverse feedback from anyone about it. It gets my endorsement

It seems that is NOT the case, and I now feel misguided by that. I had always supposed by telling us about updates in general, you were in fact suggesting we use/try such programs. I shall remember that in future  I think I have to explain... I do not not recommend the software. I do not use it, but I know that a number of forum regulars use it, and like it (and recommend it). It is therefore when an update comes to my attention, I will make it known here. I would not, of course, publish any update information on symantec and other malware.

Pat Willener, maybe you should add a disclaimer, like: "Information about this update does not necessarily mean the poster uses or recommends the software."

Thanks for clarifying Pat I know that typically your posts are unquestionable

Disclaimer 2: I hear that Foxit 3.0 now contains the much dreaded Ask toolbar (spyware); see this post in the Foxit forum http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/...post23348
It appears that they offer 3 different downloads
The ZIP file apparently does not contain the toolbar. -------------------- Doraemon - the robot cat from the future. |

Thanks. If you are observant the tool bar etc can be avoided.

Recently started using it after disagreeing with Adobe's piece of rubbish I thought I would give it a try. I use the Evince Document Viewer, which is part of the Ububtu package. It is perfectly adequate. It opens all .pdf files etc. I used to use Foxit on W98SE. This post has been edited by catgate: Sep 4 2009, 16:56 -------------------- |
